From single tools to multi-year platforms, for businesses that already had something running.
Most of what we build replaces work someone was doing by hand.
Transport, manufacturing, government, agriculture and more. Your operation is specific; the problems rarely are.
Long enough to know what breaks after launch, and to still be around when it does.
Software development, AI and the advice around both, from our team in Adelaide. Most engagements use more than one of these, and every one is run by the people who do the work.
Custom software — web and mobile platforms for operations that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools. Designed and built by one team, scoped against a requirements document, quoted fixed price, and handed over with a one-year warranty and the code.
AI agents and automation pointed at one recurring operational job — reading documents, checking claims against rules, forecasting, answering questions from your own records. Every build is tied to a number: hours returned, errors cut, or cost removed.
Consulting from the team that also has to deliver it. Technology strategy, independent architecture reviews and a prioritised roadmap with realistic costs — board-ready, and yours whether or not you build with us.
Three builds, three industries, three problems that were costing someone hours a week.
Apex is for established Australian businesses that want one partner for software, data and AI over the long term. We work inside your business, build and run what you need, and report against goals we agree with you before work starts.
It starts with a Rapid Insight Workshop: two sessions with your key people to map how the work really gets done and where the hours and money go. Around three weeks later you get a roadmap with a business case attached. Everything after that is built from it.
One workstream, a regular check-in and early wins you can measure. For businesses that want to see results before going broader.
Several workstreams at once, more frequent check-ins and strategic advice included. For businesses ready to change more than one part of the operation.
A named CodeFish team working with your leadership, board-ready reporting, and the freedom to change scope as your priorities shift.

The systems are usually the easy part. What stops an AI project is the state of the information underneath it: records spread across four systems, the same customer spelled three ways, and the one spreadsheet that nobody will give up. Fix that and the rest follows.
Five questions, two minutes, no sales call. You get a readiness score and a plain-English read on what to sort out first — whether that work happens with us or not.
Based in Adelaide, working across Australia. We work with clients locally and remotely, and prefer workshops in person when possible. All our staff work from our Adelaide office.
Every project is priced before work starts. A proof of concept through Ignite typically costs $25,000 to $50,000. A full build through Amplify starts from around $100,000 and is quoted fixed price against a requirements document. Ongoing work through Apex runs as a monthly partnership with a six-month minimum. All prices are AUD ex-GST.
Most builds take two to 12 months, depending on scope, and you get the timeline with the quote. A proof of concept is built to answer one question quickly. A full platform is planned in stages, so something useful goes live early instead of everything landing at once.
Yes. When a fixed-price build is finished, the code is yours, along with a one-year warranty. You can keep working with us, take it to another developer or run it with your own team.
Fixed-price builds include a one-year warranty, so if something we built breaks, we fix it. Many clients then move to Apex, where we keep improving the software and take on the next problem as an ongoing partnership.
Two sessions with your key people that map how the work really gets done and where time and money are lost. Around three weeks later you get a transformation strategy, a business case and a product specification. It costs a fixed $9,000 + GST, and the plan is yours whether or not you build with us.
